Can I sell my new Blackberry?

I have a great deal from Virgin on a Blackberry (£7pm) so when the old device got buggy and slow I bought a new one.

I thought Virgin wouldn't upgrade and keep me on cheap deal but when I rang yesterday on the off-chance because my wife's phone on same deal was also ageing, they said no probs, I could have two new ones for only a slight increase, £8pm, with extra mins, free insurance etc.

So I've now got a new boxed Blackberry from Virgin and a two-month-old one that I've been using. Can I get rid of the new one or do I need to transfer everything over and get rid of the one I've been using?

Hope that makes sense. Thanks for any help/advice, much appreciated.

    Only model, but good
    Don't put your trust into an Experian score - it is not a number any bank will ever use & it is generally a waste of money to purchase it. They are also selling you insurance you dont need.

    That's fine. They are selling it for around £70-80 so it's worth about £3 pm over the 2 years.

    When I renewed I got a new phone but it wasn't really any better than my old one and I'd have to mess about with setting it up and everything so I just sold it. You'll get the most money on eBay but if you're after a quick sale try a comparison site like http://www.compareandrecycle.co.uk
